:::note

You can download all the Pulsar connectors on download page.

:::

The HTTP sink connector pulls the records from Pulsar topics and makes a POST request to a configurable HTTP URL (webhook).

The body of the HTTP request is the JSON representation of the record value. The header Content-Type: application/json is added to the HTTP request.

Some other HTTP headers are added to the HTTP request:

• PulsarTopic: the topic of the record
• PulsarKey: the key of the record
• PulsarEventTime: the event time of the record
• PulsarPublishTime: the publish time of the record
• PulsarMessageId: the ID of the message contained in the record
• PulsarProperties-*: each record property is passed with the property name prefixed by PulsarProperties-

Configuration

The configuration of the HTTP sink connector has the following properties.

Property
